Cant is the new side project from full time Grizzly Bear bass player and producer Chris Taylor. At the time being the project has very little material available aside from this new MP3 “Ghosts”. This one appears on Cant’s one and only 7″ which is available today on brand new label Terrible Records. This vinyl issue is very limited in production so you better buy one now before they’re gone.

One of our favorite local bands Sunset has a show planned for Thursday night at Baby Blue Studios. Fellow locals Silent Land Time Machine and recent Brooklyn re-locator City Center will also be involved in the night’s events.

News has been churning over the interwebs as of late about this new Charlotte Gainsbourg album that will feature major contributions from the always versatile Beck.

We really dig the new BLK JKS record so naturally we are excited to see that they’re stopping through town at Emos on Monday night. Some of our favorite locals TV Torso and Wine & Revolution will also be on hand to provide your opening support. You won’t want to miss this one.

Back during SXSW, I anxiously awaited Camera Obscura to take to the stage, but while waiting, I was lucky enough to be blown away by Thomas Function. These cats from Alabama have a new record coming out next week on Fat Possum Records titled In theValley of Sickness.
